but even an EP would struggle to be flyaway.
Not true unless he has 2000lbs of spaghetti. 200 litres of Vilepollyfilla and his Mama stowed in the back next to the crewman!

Even an SP would have few problems even with high fuel state with a standard 4 man crew (9800 lbs or thereabouts with 1800lbs fuel)

My point sitting in my day-off armchair was why not descend clear of the hull into wind over the water as you winch in? Like we used to do from the Whirlwind HAS 7 onwards!
